My Granny finally passed away this evening. I say finally because it has been a long and slow decline that has led to her passing.It was just 5 years ago today that my Grandfather passed away, and with the passing of my Granny the last of my natural grandparents have passed.
Nora Nadine Denton-Yerton: My Granny – she was a woman ahead of her time.
She was born in Beggs, Okmulgee Co., OK in 1926 to Elsie Mae Burns and Thomas Finley Denton. She was raised in a family with a strong Christian background. Her 10th great grandfather was the first Presbyterian minister in the United States and many other grandfathers passed down their ideals learned through generational years of great military service. She also descends from Cherokee heritage.
She married Thomas Roland Yerton Jr. 2-22-1946 in Tulsa
Her final passing is a gift to us all and a final blessing to her. She now continues her journey on the other side of the veil. Her new existence must be so exciting as a life force that exists in a dimension of time and space that we only theorize and dream about. She's free of the human form that kept her bound and constrained to a physical earth and now exists in the realm of God.
It is such a comfort to have a faith that allows you to know that you know that this fleshly death is just the sign of a spiritual existence that has taken over and a life that is nowhere near over, but just really starting.
